ComOptionAnalytics
National Bank of Canada
Jun 2019 - Aug 2020
Created the ComOptionAnalytics system for one of the banks hedge funds. This system analyzes option contracts, giving real time pricing and risk profiles
This system includes:
- A central server which pulls market data from various sources to provide real time data analysis
- A tool for volatility surface calibration. Using this tool, traders can calibrate their volatility surfaces to the market using a variety of methodologies. This includes calibration based on term structures, volatility smiles and seasonal decay
- A pricing engine which evaluated options in real time. The optimized pricing engine was implemented in multithreaded C++, to keep the system up to date with volatile markets
- A tool for analyzing potential trades
- Several more tools for gathering, evaluating, and analyzing market data
Applied his knowledge of test-driven development, requirements engineering, and MVC architecture to make the ComOptionAnalytics system fast, accurate and easy to use
Additional C++ Experience
School Projects
Sep 2017 - Apr 2021
Implemented various smaller C and C++ projects, including:
- An HTTP proxy server
- A small compression engine
- Various embedded systems, such as a remote for a remote controlled car
- Many different algorithm implementations and smaller assignments
This work has given Kevin excellent understanding of advanced C++ concepts such as templates, and a strong understanding of systems/embedded programming
